Academy IDF Merkava Mk III 1/35 Scale Model Kit

Academy IDF Merkava Mk III 1/35 Scale Model Kit brings IDF Merkava Mk III to your workbench in 1/35 scale. The Merkava’s turret and hull shape distinguish it from other modern armor subjects.

Planning the build

Study the named version before choosing references. Compare lower-hull dirt and turret weathering so they fit the same setting.

Working in 1/35 scale

At this scale, small differences between rubber, bare metal and painted surfaces can help define the finished model. Plan the paintwork around the assembly sequence so enclosed areas are accessible. If the model will sit in a scene, compare its scale and finish with the companion pieces before choosing a base.

Painting and finishing

Choose the setting before committing to camouflage, markings and weathering. A small painted sample lets you compare the base shade with a wash and the dust or dirt from the planned display. Keep the heaviest deposits where the vehicle or equipment would contact the ground, and check the contrast at normal viewing distance.
